2G Cluster repair

[Bedicine]

Hello

I’ve been having issues with my fuel gauge not working and wasn’t sure if it was from when I did the led conversion on my cluster. I just noticed the backside has a tear in the copper ribbon ( is that what this board is)?

Curious if anyone has fixed these boards in the past and if it’s as Simple as just soldering a thin copper strip between the two pieces that are torn.

Yes you should be able to solder in a jumper wire to complete the circuit.

Look up repairing a broken PCB trace. Lots of good guides and videos out there.

Yes. You can definitely jump it. I would also reinforce it from the bottom.

Thanks everyone. I was able to connect it and now my light comes on there which didn’t before. I think my cluster is dead though as the needles don’t light up and such. Part of the cluster lights up and then I switch those bulbs to the section that doesn’t and then nothing. May have to try another cluster
